Okey dokey; Back from the Update-grub procedure and have NOT yet rebooted, but look at the output; Recall that I ran 'sudo apt-get install memtest86+' beforehand -- Oh, I also did 'sudo updatedb', which I do directly after every app type install, so the system can find what it needs. ~$ sudo update-grub Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub . Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst . Searching for splash image... none found, skipping... Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-686 Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done Note the 'memtest86+.bin' entry ;-) So now when I reboot I'll have that option... hth someone Regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
